There are lots of things happening this summer and the best place to keep up with everything in on EnidBuzz.com. I’ll be posting Vacation Bible Schools and more activities soon.

Pay’s For As

Security National Bank of Enid will be rewarding five lucky area students for their good grades with the SNB Pays for A’s program. The program is open to students in grades 3 - 12. Public and private school students can participate. Students have until 5pm June 16 to take their report cards to any of SNB’s three locations. There the bank will make a copy of the report card and place it in a hopper. Four cards will be drawn from the hopper. Those four students will receive $10 for each A and $5 for each B on their spring 2023 semester grades. Individual grades from each nine-week section will not be considered.

In addition to the four students who will be “paid for their As”, one card will be drawn from the hopper for a $150 savings account with the bank.

Security National Bank offers a full suite of products and services for consumer and commercial customers. Bank 24 hours a day using SNB’s online banking at snbenid.com. Security National Bank is located at: 201 West Broadway, 201 West Maine and 210 North Oakwood.
